my knob is wrapped in leather and somewhat dirty, so I can't help you with your knob.

You could always hire someone to polish your knob...The prices will probably vary on whether or not you want a slow, gentle polish, or if you want a speed job- both end up with the same result though- a finely polished knob.

Tell her to go easy with the teeth...

Mother's make some nice aluminium polish that you can try. Application with a cloth might get the scratches out but you might have to resort to a Dremel with a polishing bit.

You can try a metal polish.

Let me know if it works. I have the same knob as you and mine is all scratched up as well...that just happens when you use it a lot. If metal polish doesn't work, try lotion.
